Graham Miller speaks to the former Reading, Newcastle, West Ham and Portsmouth goalkeeper Shaka Hislop.
Shaka enjoyed a great career, playing for Kevin Keegan's 'Entertainers', the team that finished second in the Premier League two years running. He also played in memorable play-off and FA Cup finals for Reading and West Ham, and at the World Cup finals for Trinidad & Tobago. He tells us about his experience and observations of racial abuse in public, and even in the dressing room.
Shaka is the honorary president of Show Racism The Red Card and explains how the inherent diversity in football shows how teams are stronger when they working together. He also says Alan Shearer would be a terrible left-back!
